Urban Wilderness CIC were one of four partner organisations (along with the Science and Industry Museum, City of Trees and Castlefield Forum) who were given spaces on the viaduct to create their own unique gardens.
Urban Wilderness CIC worked with Manchester based charity, 42nd Street, supporting young people who have suffered mental health challenges. The ‘Garden of Possibilities’ features a geodesic dome and plants known for having positive effects on mental health and physical wellbeing, including nettle, feverfew and lemon balm.
Our plot provided a place for rest, recuperation and remedy in urban nature, informed by conversations with young people from 42 nd Street who wanted a non-commercial safe space away from the business of the city.
